Hiked all three peaks from Gap Road in Golden Gate Canyon State Park with my girlfriend Meghan. I carried snowshoes but never put them on. What snow did exist was frozen solid and easy to walk on due to our 7:42am start. There was absolutely no wind at the summit. This was a great hike that provided fantastic views of the entire Front Range. If you want a small sample of the kind of views you get at the summit, visit Panorama Point in Golden Gate Canyon State Park (then imagine being 1300 feet higher).

This mountain was always my favorite hike during my earlier years in Colorado. We bushwhacked from the west and preferred to do most of our climbing on the center buttress. I went up nearby Tremont Mountain with my kids in 1992. Wish we had done Thorodin instead.
